Author: Dutchy  Date:   2005-09-24 20:08 No, goodness, no need for that, now I feel bad that I made YOU feel bad. I'm okay, really, this isn't some kind of huge "oh no, maybe I'm going to quit the oboe" crisis. And anyway, guess what? I just got done playing with my two brand-new Gower reeds and they're fine. They don't complain about the octave, they don't give me random squeaks and squawks from the lower register. So it's not my embouchure, it's not the oboe, it's that I got a couple of bad reeds. --So now you're going, "Where did she get two Gower reeds in a single Saturday morning?" And I answer, in some embarrassment, "From the bottom of my 'oboe stuff' box." --where I tossed them when they arrived, way back before Labor Day. Sheesh. :rolleyes: NOW it all comes back to me... I was totally swamped by work and Back-To-School and my second kid starting college and other Real Life stuff, so when they came, I glanced at the invoice and tossed them in there, and totally forgot about them, until after lunch today, when I was rather crossly rummaging through all the junque in there, and stumbled across them. Egad. Two reeds. And they play nice. They were kind of open and flat, but I soaked 'em and pinched them a bit, and now they're fine. So I'm fine. And you're fine. And you're very kind. Pay it forward to somebody else who really needs it. And deserves it. And who can keep track of their dang reeds.
